Maine landlord indicted in tenants' killing

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A Maine landlord has been indicted by a grand jury on charges of killing two teenage tenants inside their Biddeford apartment.

Police say 74-year-old James Pak shot the two tenants on Dec. 29 after arguing with them about late rent, snow shoveling and parking.

He's been indicted on two counts of murder in the deaths of 19-year-old Derrick Thompson and his 18-year-old girlfriend, Alivia Welch, and attempted murder in the shooting of Thompson's mother, Susan Johnson, who survived.

Biddeford police had been at Pak's home minutes before the shootings. Thompson had called them to report that Pak was yelling and threatening him and banging on his door. The Portland Press Herald reports (http://bit.ly/11RwTgk ) that Thompson later told police that he didn't think Pak would hurt them.
